a room and is divided by low arms into a number of seats, the 
spaces over them being concealed by curtains of deep yellow 
silk. Her dress is of dark green, and a brown scarf is worn 
round the shoulders, brought in front and loosely knotted be- 
low the right hip. She carries a lute of antique pattern, which 
she plays softly as she advances towards the spectator. A 
wreath of laurel is upon her head, which is inclined slightly 
downwards with an expression of gentle melancholy, and her 
feet are bare.

road, which leads through the middle of the picture. In the 
middle distance the road dips and disappears in the shade of 
a group of enormous trees, for the most part oaks, which, from 
their appearance, must be of great antiquity, one in particular, 
in the right foreground, being a veritable patriarch of the for- 
est. Beyond, the scene shows an open heath bathed in the warm 
glow of a summer sky, which is partly covered with heavy 
cumuli.

A STORMY DAY 


On the left of the picture are shown the dunes of a sandy fore- 
shore, with rough breakwaters running to the water’s edge, 
and in the distance the steeple of a church. Two fishermen in 
the foreground watch the departure of a small fleet of fishing 
vessels, some of which are getting up sail, while one in the fore- 
ground stands with sails flapping as she moves round to catch 
the wind. The surface of the sea is dark and broken, while heavy 
clouds obscure the blue sky overhead and give promise of a 
stormy voyage.

(Illustrated on opposite page) 


A WONDERFUL piece of painting, with all the technical excel- 
lence of the pre-Raphaelite School, which does not, however, 
detract from the general effect of the picture as a whole. It 
represents two celestial beings, in long flowing robes painted 
to give the effect of feathers, walking beside a small stream, 
on whose rocky banks flowers grow before their footsteps. As 
they advance, one playing a lyre, the other singing from a 
long parchment roll held in her hands, a number of eight- 
winged cherubim descend in a blaze of glory from the skies, 
hovering just above the angels’ heads. The latter walk with 
wings half spread, one in all the purple and golden glory of 
the peacock’s plumage, the other with brown pinions, with the 
softer feathers of red and gold.

of an old Scotch gentleman with gray hair and clean-shaven, 
ruddy face. He wears a dark coat and waistcoat, in front of 
which dangles a bunch of seals at the end of a heavy watch- 
guard. His hands are clasped in front of him in a somewhat

of this artist. The greater part of the picture is occupied by a 
view of the Grand Canal, crowded with every type of craft, 
from the dusky gondola to the busy gig, darting hither and 
thither on its surface. On the right is a broad wharf, with 
a flight of steps leading to the water’s edge, upon which 
groups of men and women are promenading. In the distance 
the line of houses bends to the left, dominated by several tall 
towers, and in the centre the Church of Sta. Maria della Salute 
shuts off the view of the lagoon, save through two narrow 
canals. The time is late afternoon, and the shadows are begin- 
ning to lengthen. The sky is a deep blue, with the haze of even- 
ing gathering near the horizon.

Canaletto, although best known for his views of Venice, painted

playing beneath the branches of a large tree. The elder, with 
one foot advanced and one hand upraised, the other lifting 
her skirt, is showing the steps of a dance to her little compan-

half in sunlight, half in shadow, a great mass of rugged rock 
soars up against the sky, with trees and shrubs growing from 
the niches and recesses of its side. Down its face pours a water- 
fall, small in volume, but attaining sufficient velocity in its 
descent to send a cloud of foam and spume into the air at its 
foot. On the left the gnarled and broken branches of an an- 
cient tree stand silhouetted boldly against the sky, making, 
with the rocks, a natural frame, through which appears a vista 
of tree tops, with the roofs of cottages appearing here and 
there. In the middle distance can be seen the towers of a large 
villa, and in the background the peaks of a lofty chain of 
mountains loom dimly through a faint haze.

PORTRAIT OF MRS. MARSHALL 
(Illustrated on opposite page) 


Tuis is a well-known example, and is illustrated and described 
in the recently published “Life of Sir William Beechey, 
R.A.,” by W. Roberts. | 

It is a very striking portrait of a beautiful Englishwoman, 
painted at the most attractive time of life. The composition is 
excellent, and the skill of the painter shows the grace and re- 
finement of the sitter to the best advantage, while the color 
scheme is delicate and chaste. It represents a lady seated in a 
reclining position upon a sofa, supporting herself upon her 
right elbow. She wears a loose white robe, open at the neck to 
disclose the contour of a finely moulded throat, and confined 
below the bust by a narrow crimson ribbon. A pink scarf is 
thrown over one shoulder and falls to the floor, the curve 
which it assumes following and accentuating the graceful 
lines of the figure and the rounded limbs, the outline of which 
can be seen beneath the soft clinging material of her dress. 
A pet dog sits beside her on the sofa, and a jewel box and a 
muslin dress are on a table near at hand. 


Height, 50 inches; width, 40 inches. 


Formerly in possession of Messrs. P. & D. Cotnacui & Co.,

Beechey was a great favorite with the royal family, and was for many 
years instructor to the princesses. The most famous painting of this 
artist is perhaps the great “‘ George III Reviewing His Troops,” which 
is now at Hampton Court, and for which he was knighted.

VERTUMNUS VISITING POMONA IN THE 
GUISE OF AN OLD WOMAN 


AN incident from the mythical story of the nymph Pomona, 
who devoted so much time to her fruit trees that she had none 
to spare for her lovers. Vertumnus, her most ardent admirer, 
visited her one day in the guise of an old woman, and drawing 
an allegory from the vine growing upon the tree and the use- 
lessness of one without the other, persuaded her to unite her- 
self with him. 

The scene shows a garden surrounded with fine trees in 
full foliage. On the left Pomona leans upon a pedestal, her 
pruning knife in her hand. She is clad in a classic robe of 
yellow, girt at the waist by a broad blue sash. Close by, Ver- 
tumnus, in the likeness of an old woman, a scarlet cloak thrown 
over her blue dress, stands leaning on a staff. His outstretched 
right hand points to the wine entwined upon the oak tree over 
Pomona’s head, while the latter makes a deprecatory gesture 
with her left hand. Behind Vertumnus is a small cupid holding 
a mask before his laughing face.

side a broken urn, inscribed with the name of Capulet, the ill- 
fated lovers stand, the young man’s arm around her waist, her 
two hands clasping his left hand to her bosom, while her eyes 
seek comfort from his. Juliet is clad in a simple white gown 
of soft, clinging material, a gauze veil surmounting her soft 
brown hair, which falls in long curls upon her shoulders. 
Romeo is habited entirely in black silk, with a lace collar round 
the throat, his sword depending from a rich silver baldrick set 
with jewels. He stands with his left leg well advanced, in a 
posture as if he would defend the girl against all comers. Upon 
the ground at their feet lies a golden goblet and a napkin, as 
if they had been dropped there when the lovers were surprised. 
The expression of timidity and helplessness upon Juliet’s face: 
and Romeo’s look of despair are rendered with extraordinary

The lady is shown life size, standing with one foot on a 
blue velvet cushion. She leans her right arm on a marble ped- 
estal, her whole body slightly inclined in that direction, while 
her left arm rests on a balustrade beside her. Her dress is of 
simple white satin, unadorned save for a knot of blue ribbon 
with a large pearl drop on her bosom, and a narrow belt set 
with precious stones about her waist. A red cloak lined with 
rich ermine is thrown over the pedestal and balustrade, on 
which she leans, and falls to the ground at her feet. Her arms 
are bare from the elbow, and in her uplifted right hand she 
holds a small feather fan. The background shows a red cur- 
tain, looped up to disclose a marble column and a glimpse of 
trees and a cloudy sky beyond.

GROUP OF FIGURES 
(FRAGMENT) 


In this fragment we see a number of men crowded between 
the columns of some building, and climbing upon the plinth 
of one of the pillars, all gazing and pointing at some object 
high up on the right, but out of the picture. In the foreground 
a tall black-bearded man in a long green cloak and white cap 
stands in full sunlight, with a small boy by his side. 

Height, 48 mches; width, 40 inches. 


Flink was perhaps the most famous pupil of Rembrandt, and in his 
best manner it is at times difficult to distinguish between the two. He 
was employed on many important paintings by the magistrates of Am- 
sterdam, Prince Maurice of Naussau and other notable personages.

VENUS RISING FROM THE WAVES 
AT THE ISLAND OF CYTHERA 


In Grecian mythology Cythera was specially sacred to Venus 
as being the place where she first rose from the sea foam; a 
temple was there erected and great festivals held in her honor. 
Close by the water’s edge the goddess rises from the ocean, 
seated in a golden chariot, drawn by two sea-horses. A gauze 
scarf, which forms her only garment, floats in a graceful curve 
above her head, and her fair hair streams behind her on the 
breeze. Numbers of attendant cupids bearing flowers and 
torches sport in the air above her, or, with joined hands, dance 
in joyous welcome on the shore. 
Height, 45 inches; width, 41 inches. 


From the collection of the Dux or SurHERLAND, Stafford House. 


Mola was a pupil of Francesco Albano, whom, however, he far out- 
shone, both in the conception and execution of his pictures.

THE RETURN OF THE FLEET 


WituraM Co.iins (father of Wilkie Collins, the novelist) be- 
came first famous for his pictures of rustic life. In 1815 he 
went to Cromer to study the sea and fishermen, and rapidly 
became famous for pictures similar to the one here exhibited. 
The Prince Regent and other royal and noble personages were 
among his patrons. At the Gillot Sale, in 1872, his picture of 
Cromer Sands brought 3,600 guineas. 

This picture shows a wide stretch of sand, on which the re- 
treating tide has left several large pools. In the foreground a 
fisherman is seated on an old rudder-post, talking to a woman 
in a blue skirt and red jacket. In the middle distance a large 
boat is drawn up and is being emptied of the catch and nets, 
which lie on the sand. Other boats are being drawn up on the 
shore by means of horses, and in the distance the remainder of 
the fleet are hastening homewards over a glassy sea, their 
heavy lug sails trimmed to catch every breath. The sun is near- 
ing the horizon, tinging with pink the light clouds which cover 


the sky.

fection the lines of her well-poised figure. It is cut low across 
the shoulders and has short sleeves, leaving the well-rounded 
arms bare. A single jewelled brooch in the centre of the bust 
and a band round the arm are the only attempts at ornament. 
A large black hat with several ostrich feathers is set on the 
side of her head, surmounting a mass of dark brown curls 
which frame a face of singularly frank and ingenuous ex- 
pression. A large velvet cloth is thrown over the pillar on 
which she leans, and passes behind her figure, the end being

lies at her feet looking up into his mistress’s face. The back-
